So, here’s a little tidbit about me… I’m currently working on a children’s book with a dynamo writer friend of mine. I was quite happy with my illustrations, that is until I came across the work of Italian author/illustrator Beatrice Alemagna and this lovely book titled Un Lion à Paris. I absolutely love how she has seamlessly combined line drawings, with found imagery, with something magical that I can’t quite put my finger on. Damn. Back to the drawing board. Sorry dynamo writing friend… it might be awhile before you see any new pages!

{And if these illustrations aren’t enough to be jealous of, ‘in 1998 she started publishing with “editions du Seuil” and began a collaboration as poster artist for the Centre Pompidou in Paris. A collaboration that continues to this day.’ FYI: I have great dreams of working with the Pompidou someday… ooh, I’m so jealous!}

As someone who considers herself rather close to said dynamo writer friend, I can assure you she has every faith The Jealous Curator’s book illustrations will make even the likes of Beatrice Alemagna envious. :)jojo
